Episode:  “Sticky Situation” ptII

RECAP: The Quirinus is scanning the gas drifts... helpless to save the four ships in the gases

--------------------- BEGIN MISSION ---------------------

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wanders back on to the bridge::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::continues running simulations with the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Pacing back and forth between SCI and ENG::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::At sci 1 scanning for EM radiation in the Gaseous drift::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::In the Counselor's office on Deck 4::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
::at TAC, trying to get identity signatures on trapped vessels::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::still at ENG2::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Standing:: Gokaar: Status of the wave coming our way.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CEO: Well Stevens.... what's the verdict?  Can we get through the cloud?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Checking sir ::reads sensors:: 25 minutes sir

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Is in the mess hall, drinking some Rokassa juice while looking at a PADD.::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Wave velocity is consistent?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CEO: I do have a plan, and we wouldn't have to make it all the way out the cloud

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
XO: Honestly it will take a miracle.  The gas density is changing too much for the momentum plan to work.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: It seems to be sir

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: I am listening Lahn

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Self:   Interesting name for a lounge.... Nero's lounge....  If i'm not mistaken...Nero was some sort of leader in the Terran past.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks at the HUD and wonders aloud::  Anyone track where the gasses are originating from?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to operations:: OPS:  Any response from Starfleet?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Checks LCARS for last survey data::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CEO: well, if we made it within tractor distance we could pull the ship towards us and extend our shields.  we could then ignite the gas which would disperse the cloud.  It’s not perfect, but it’s the best plan I think we have yet

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::listens in on EO's plan::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
EO: Would the ignited gases harm the other ships trapped in the cloud?

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::walks forward, reading the gasses bleeding off the Red Giant, frowning in thought::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: What kind of damage could we expect from the ignition of the gas.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Takes a sip of his drink::  Self:  Hmmm..... maybe i'll do some research on him..  But i think i should return to sickbay now.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
EO: the density of explosive particles is only about 1 per 1000, since there's so much other stuff out there, I believe the ship could survive.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::turns to look at the bridge::  All:  anyone wonder where all of those gasses are coming from?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
it might damage the shields considerably, but they would hold

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::crosses to Trebor:: Trebor:  We have approximately 20 minutes to find a solution, before we must leave.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Finishes his drink and exits Nero's Lounge and heads towards the turbolift.::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir we could try increasing the Field strength and density matrix of the forward deflectors and "Ice break" our way through

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: Aye, sir.... but it is looking grim right now.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Computer:  Deck 4, Sickbay.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Run a simulation.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir ::Runs a simulation::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::watches the clock count down::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::assists the CSO in the simulation::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::The TL stops and Murat exits it and heads towards sickbay.::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Sits there, going over the recording of Ensign Beals' session::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is really glad to see she's making progress... almost sure that soon she won't be terrified of having to go on away team... possibly not even fearful of it::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Crosses to his chair and lightly drums his fingers on the arm::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Plots the placement of the various pockets of elements::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Enters sickbay and looks around.::  Self:  Hmmm.... looks like Doctor Morgan isn't around.

Nurse_Love says:
::sitting in sickbay working on the daily reports::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Looking over Gokaars shoulder:: CSO: Why would the various gases stratify like that?  That can't be natural.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Walks up to the nurse.::  Nurse:  You're new here..

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar: If the gas is in pockets, can we plot a course through the gases that won't effect propulsion?

Nurse_Love says:
::sees the MO enter:: MO_Asturias: Hello Doctor, why yes I am. Sara Love at your service.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Padd suddenly falls off the Counselor's desk

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks at the PADD:: Eh?

Nurse_Love says:
::puts out her hand::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
TO: Possibly

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks around, then picks up the PADD, tries to see what's on it::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Shakes hand and then kisses it like a gentleman.::  Nurse:  Pleasure to meet you.

Nurse_Love says:
::smiles:: MO: Why thank you doctor, the pleasure is all mine.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  I am Lieutenant Junior Grade Murat Asturias.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Reads the title: "The Gray and the Dead"::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Guesses it's some terran post-WW III novel::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::tirelessly scours the database looking for anything relevant::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Have you been here long doctor? I used to know the former CMO here a long time ago.

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
::Tries to plot a couse to the nearest ship and runs a computer simulation::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Listens to the TO's idea:: Gokaar:  we would need to move to pockets that would allow us to gain enough momentum using the engines to glide to the next pocket.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  I just arrived here on the Quirinus prior to this mission.  My last starship was the U.S.S. Rembrandt.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: SF's reply came in.  It will have to be up to us, no other ship in the area.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Thinks: "Must be some gravity shift or something..." as he reads through the novel::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: How interesting..I was on the USS Sheridan.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: We have a drag / friction concern Sir - and we still have no way to seal from the particles

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  What class of starship was that?

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
heads over and sits at the Sci II station, running a spectral analysis of the Red Giant::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Trebor:  Understood.

Nurse_Love says:
::hands the doctor the reports:: MO: Here are the reports sir. Oh the Sheridan was a galaxy class, a fine ship.

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Sir, I believe I have found a course through to the nearest ship.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: We have been looking at the gas pockets it could be possible to maneuver through the drift would you agree.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Interesting..the Rembrandt was also Galaxy Class.  They are very roomy.. if you will.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Takes the reports and looks them over.::  Nurse:  Anything out of the ordinary happen here while i was gone?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The temperature drops in Raythan's office a bit.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Checks on the waves progress::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Shivers:: Computer: Raise temperature back to 78 degrees farenheit please.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir this will help us through the gas ::passes the Schematic of the new deflector arangement::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Well, to be honest sir, I never got out of sickbay long enough to be sure about that.::laughs::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Raythan: Temperature is at 78 degrees farenheit

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  It's understandable.. a doctor's job is in Sickbay.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: True sir...so true

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Mumbles:: Computer: I see. ::Makes note to have an engineer fix it when there is a chance::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir ETA wavefront 7 minutes

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Continues reading the Gray and the Dead, in regards to naval warfare::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CSO,CEO: Lets hear it now... We have only 7 min till the wave gets here

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::enters a quick classification for the Red Giant........."Second Generation Solar Body"...begins quietly entering a small log on the mass spectrometer reading.........:: Stars of this age usually slough off heavier gasses and elements....Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen.....but never Krypton, or even some of the heavier gasses.......

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  You don't have to call me sir.  ::Smiles::  We can be at ease while we let science take care of this mission.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Gets to the part where the main character Gray gets killed while trying to repair a special part of the vessel::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: Sir this will help us through the gas ::passes the Schematic of the new deflector arangement::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks over the schematic:: Gokaar:  Well done.  ::Hands the padd to Stevens:: Stevens: how long to implement this configuration?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
XO: Also it could be possible to maneuver past the very dense areas.

Nurse_Love says:
::moves over to the storage locker to check on supplies::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Lookis it over:: CSO: Ok, it looks  good to me.  Wesley, can we configure the delectors?

Nurse_Love says:
::smiles over her shoulder at the MO::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: there is also the possibility that we could increase the underside shhielding and "Surf" our way on the wavefront

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Sir, I have plotted a few courses that would take us through soime of the less dense gases.  ::hand Gokaar a Padd::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Looks over the reports and heads towards teh CMOs office and drops them off on her desk.::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::looks at the changes:: XO Yeah no problem.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Takes the PADD and studies it::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Gets accustomed to the cold quite quickly::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar: ETA to wave?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: No time at all

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: 4 minutes sir

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
:wonders if he should suggest turning the bow of the vessel into the wave front path::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CSO: Assist me with the reconfigurations

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevens: then make it so.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: We seem to have the best plan that we can...

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Leaves the CMOs office and goes back in the main part of sickbay.::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Yes sir, already on top of it.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Trebor:  Are you more comfortable with the solution?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CEO: Certainly ::begins to assis t with reconfigurations::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CSO: We only have only 4 minutes to get it done.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: It seems the best we can do.  I can live with it.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CEO: Indeed

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Estimate of odds of success.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir eta 2 minutes to wavefront

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::moves back to Eng 1 station and starts reconfiguring the deflectors::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Might I suggest turning the bow of the vessel into the path of the incoming wave.......if we dont, the force of the wave will "capsize" us - the inertial dampners wont be able to keep us from being tossed around

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  What did you say your name was?  Sara?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: probability 78.23% sucess

Nurse_Love says:
::notices that the extra dermal regenerator is missing:: MO: Excuse me doctor, we seem to be missing the extra dermal regenerator. Do you happen to know where it is?

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Leans back in his chair, reading::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Acceptable.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Yes sir, it is Sara.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Perhaps Doctor Morgan took it with her...

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::taps in last commands:: CSO: finished on my end how about you

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::frowns::  One minute to impact

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Moves back to his chair::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Transfer course to helm.  All:  Status?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir when that wavefront passes we'll have those ships near us

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::braces himself at the station....shield or not, they arent turned into the wave yet::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: eta 1 minue

Nurse_Love says:
::nods and makes a note to ask Dr. Morgan about the equipment::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::Transfers course to helm::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Tell me a little bout yourself.. Sara.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Gas cloud washes past the Quirinus.. the gases sliding along the hull, there is some turbulence but the ship doesn't capsize.  Sensors are down to 12% with the gas density.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Reconfigurations are complete.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm:  Turn us into the wave.  Stevens:  Shield full power.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
TO: keep an eye on those ships when the wavefront passes I dont want any surprise attacks

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::transfers all power to shields::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Notices the ship shaking a little bit::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Shields full power.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::feels the ship rumble::  ach

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Shrugs, and goes back to reading::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Holds on to the arms of his chair::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Yes sir.  Starting active scans.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Braces::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Quirinus stops shaking as the bulk of the new gas drift washes past them.

Nurse_Love says:
::feels the ship shake slightly::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*Engineering* All available repair teams be ready for any reports of damage.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Feels the ship rubble..::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::runs level 1 diagnostic on sensors::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CEO: Damage report?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm:  Engage couse to first bubble.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::looks over ship for any major damage::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: CHeking now sir.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: No damage reported sir

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::crosses to chair and sits::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: sensors at 12%

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::decides he'll be more useful doing repairs and heads for the TL:: TL: main engineering

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  I wonder what that was.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Better check for injuries.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::begins looking for a Sonar subroutine for the sensors::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: The snesors are down to 12% due to the gas density.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Right.

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, I have lost all the other ships on our sensors.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: I hope the bridge crew know what they're doing up there.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar/Stevens: understood

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
*XO*  Commander, everything alright on the bridge?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CEO: We're flying by braille

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Full sweep, maximum field.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  So do I Sara... so do I..

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship suddenly begins lurching... like a stalling car..

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
*MO*Just fine Dr.  We have entered the gaseous drift... but no damage.  Any injuries report in?

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is going through the book at warp speed... notices the ship start to lurch, wonders if Hannah is driving once again::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::what is that gas!:: CO: Sir getting an unknown composition on the gas out there

Nurse_Love says:
::fals over onto the floor:: MO: What was that?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
All: Now good.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::finds a sonar subroutine::  CSO:  Try this....High Energy Sonar should give us some kind of return in this soupy gas

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, according to our initial readings this pocket should have been argon.

Nurse_Love says:
::tries to stand up::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CIV: Thank you ::Implements subroutine::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
helm: Stay on preset course.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
*XO*  Not yet..  If gas levels reach extreme levels, notify me immediately and i will go innoculate the senior staff for any poisoning which may occur.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship bucks... intermittently.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
:: things about going to the counsellor's office, but knows this isn't the time::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Goes flying and hits head on a biobed.::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::mumbles something about::  push in the clutch

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::grabs on to the console trying to keep balance::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Starts to shake in his chair, and REALLY starts to wonder about the person driving::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
Computer what is the cause of this lurching?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*Lab 2*: draw a sample of theat gas for analysis

Nurse_Love says:
::grabs onto the nearest chair and pulls herself up and sits:: Self: Whewww!

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
<lab2> *CSO*: Aye sir

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
*MO*: Very well doctor, but if the crew gets exposed to this stuff, I think that poisoning will be the last thing on our minds....  I will advise you of any foreseeable events, though.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Are you alright doctor?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sensor contacts: One to Port, One Dorsal, and One Directly ahead.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Rubs head::  *XO*  Thank you commander.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  I'll be fine....

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Looks like a trap!

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
Helm, how is our progress?

Nurse_Love says:
::stands and walks over to the MO:: MO: Let me have a look at that bump.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Alright.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Waits:: Nural: Where are we in relation to the last contact with the first ship?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::looks at the hull integrity and notices what is happening.::

Nurse_Love says:
::runs a tricorder over the injury::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Helm> Sulek: Not making any.. Impulse engines keep fluctuating

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Increases structural integrity fields::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Smiles at the nurse.::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::frowns::  CO:  I am getting a reading on the Sonar Echo silouettes.....

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Another sensor contact sir

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Captain, the gas has somehow seeped through the shields and is disintegrating the hull molecule by molecule.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Cancel that sir - it's an echo

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CSO: What is our distance into the cloud?  How long would it take us to exit?

Nurse_Love says:
::checks the reading:: MO: You'll be fine, just a little contusion, nothing to worry about. ::smiles down at the doctor::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: Can you determine what is in this gas that is eating away our hull.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Great.....  ::Smiles::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Correction....from the litte feedback I am getting from the sensors......the Sonar is having little effect

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: difficult to read sir - checking

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevens: bring the shields as close to the ship as you can.  Modify density of the grid.  Draw power from all inactive systems.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::starts to run tests on the gas to determine what it is::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Yes, sir

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: we appear to be 3km into the cloud

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::begins running through the old LCARS database for known Steamrunner Class vessels lost in the area::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Thank you nurse..

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  Commander, you might want to take a look at this....

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: We are still pretty far away sir.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Sir, shall I prepare hypos for the bridge crew to counteract the effects of the gas?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The ship gives one last huge lurch

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::accesses the shields and closes the shields as close as possible::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: Sir we are still getting severe ocilations in that reading

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
Oof ::Holds onto his desk, dropping the PADD::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Helm> Sulek: Impulse engines not functioning... I don't know what's wrong sir.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Yes... we may be needed up there.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Grabs the console and steadies himself::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm:  Understood.

Nurse_Love says:
::falls into the MO:: MO: Oh I am sorry sir. ::feels embarrassed::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
::tries to identify the 3 ships::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::practically falls from his chair.... looks around as the helm reports::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::has to steady himself on his console, glad the bucking stopped::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevens:  Warp capability?

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wonders why no one listens to him::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Smiles::  Nurse:  It's alright.  Has anyone ever told you, you have beautiful eyes?

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CIV: What is it Lt?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::despite the constant shaking of the ship, he remains relatively unphased::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CEO: Try fluctuating the Ionisation patterns on the shields

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*EO* Lahn we have some gas seeping through the shields and has started eating away at the hull.  I want you to get with repair team 1 and try to find some way to counteract the gases effect or at least stop the hull degradation

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Why no doctor..::blushes::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish:  What might have caused our echoes?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::checks on the ships ability to go to warp::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CEO: check the Ion / cation reactions

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
*CEO* Is there some reason we can't just leave the gas?

Nurse_Love says:
::moves back to the table and prepares the hypos::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Smiles::  Nurse:  We should get those hypos ready.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*EO* The ship has just stalled.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: On it sir, and I'll prepare a med kit just in case.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Follows the nurse to the table.::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*EO* Reason at time unknown.  Change that last order meet me in engineering.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Acknowledged.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: We have no engines

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*Lab 2*: any results on that gas sample yet?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Warp or impulse.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::checks the ion/cation reactions::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::listens to the sounds of the ship echoing through the jefferies tubes, then makes his way to engineering::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::Shakes his head... KobayAshi Maru::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevens:  check for particles, dampening fields...

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::frowns, talking to himself::  The last ship in the system was the USS Benvolio.....Olympic Class.......not a Steamrunner Class.............in fact, a Steamrunner class has never been within 5 lightyears of this place

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks around for a moment, and continues reading::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Yes, sir.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Gas seems to clear a little.. and a little way off.. a vague outline of a steamrunner class, and its nacelle glow can be seen... it is visible only for a second and then fogs over again.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Helps the nurse fix some hypos.::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Are these enough? ::points to seven hypos::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*EO* I am going to be a little held up meeting you in engineering, try to get aleast impulse working.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives in main engineering, with the CEO nowhere to be found:: 

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns:: MacTavish:  Lt., do you wish to contribute?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
<Lab2> *CSO*: Sir we cant get a sample

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, it seems a steamrunner class vessel appears for a second.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Prepare three more.. we don't want to end up being shorthanded.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  a sensor echo?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*LAb2*: Understood

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
*ENG Repair team 1* distrubute your tasks amoung the other teams and meet me in main engineering immediately

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Well Sir.....Sensors, the little we have, show 3 other Steamrunner class vessels in the cloud with us.  The odd thing is, there hasnt been a Steamrunner within 5 lightyears of this system - the last vessel lost here was the USS Benvolio...Olympic Class....

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CO: I am unable to determine that with our sensor efficeiency down so low.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::starts checking the dampening fields for particles::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Aye sir, I'll finish up here. Perhaps you should get a team together just in case.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CIV: So what... we are seeing echos of ourself?\

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Mactavish:  Then the contacts were reflections?

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Of course.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
*Med 1*  Medical Team One, please assemble in sickbay immediately.

Nurse_Love says:
::finds another three hypos and places them in the med kit along with the seven others::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Unknown....I doubt they are a light trick....the sensors indicate real substance

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Have it ready?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::after running over so status information the team begins to rush in and after informing them of the situation we begin exchaning ideas::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Permission to leave to engineering to try and get the engines started.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: All set sir. ::places the kit next to the doctor::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Could this unknow element be a living entity, immitating us in some way?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevens: Granted

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
*XO*  Commander, I have a team on standby upon your order.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
CO: Thank you sir.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Good work.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::frowns::  Perhaps these gas flows are indicative of a real subspace problem here.....the gravimetrics of this system are....unusual

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Always a posibility sir I'll try some standard hails and numeric sequences

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::exits the bridge and enters TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::exits the TL and enters Main Engineering::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir the sensor contact to port is moveing away - or we are from it

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: eithere way it is fading

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
TO: Are we within tractor distance from any of the vessels?  How about transporter?

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
::begins recording the sensor logs...noting curiously the contact to port is fading::

Nurse_Love says:
::watches the Med team assembles in sickbay::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir look at the way the gas is sealing itself on the hull

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Lab 2> *Gokaar* Sir, we got a sample... you might want to see this sir.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*Lab2*: what have you got?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: Any luck with the engines

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish:  Try hailing port contact.

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: No sir, we are still too far.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<L2> *Gokaar* You have to see it sir..

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::starts thinking of a old form of propulsion that was used in the late 20th and early 21st century.::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CEO: no sir

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*Lab 2* : Stand by

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
::notes the strange tone to SciLab2 report:: CSO: Get down there and tell us what we are dealing wiht.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Stevens* Status of hull integrity?

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Does the gas have an ionization charge, maybe we could charge the shields to repel the gas.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*CSO* Are there any kind of oxygen or hydrogen pockets near the ship that can be collected?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir Lab 2 has something to show me - Permission to leave the bridge?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Granted

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
Computer: What is the status of the hull?

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Looks like everyone has assembled.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
XO: Aye sir on my way

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::heads to TL ::TL: lab 2

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Yes it does sir.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
Nural:  Ens... where is that probe we launched?

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Now we just wait....

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*CO* HUll integrity is now stabilized, but it is at 78% covered with gas.

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Coffee sir?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Exits TL at lab 2::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: We lost contact with it.  I assume it got booged down by the gas.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  No thank you..  I can't stand the stuff.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::About finished with the book, thinks it's ok, not really wondering why it was tossed on his desk anymore::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Stevens* Understood.  Impulse is priority.

Nurse_Love says:
::laughs softly:: MO: Oh I see sir.

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
*CO* Yes sir Ensign Everitt and I are on top of it.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*CO*: Sir the way that gas is behaving it must be sealing over the impulse and warp nacelles - we may need to find a way to clear it off

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Smiles::  Nurse:  Live and learn.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::enters lab 2:: lab2: Report!

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::starts looking at the engines and trying to determine what cause them to stall::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: at last check, we were about 3km into the cloud... I wonder if we couldnt detonate a sting of torps and have the blast push us out?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Lab 2 Tech> Gokaar: Sir.. we have the gas sample over here in containment.  ::Gestures::

Nurse_Love says:
MO: Sir shall I pass out the rest of the med kits to the team now?

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::walks over and looks::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
Computer: What was the cause of the engines to stall?

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  Sure.  Here i'll help you.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Trebor:  see what you can work up.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As Gokaar nears the container he sees himself taking shape in the gas.. staring back at him.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
TO: Nural... have a challenge for you...\

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::runs a protective field around the engines to prevent any damage to them::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Stevens: Unknown, sufficient thrust was not attained for movement.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CEO: why don't we create an explosion outside the ship and burn all that crap off the hull

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
::Steps back Astonished :: Lab2: Remarkable!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<L2T> Gokaar: Try scanning it...

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: Sounds great.

Nurse_Love says:
::walks over to the first team member:: Ens: Here you go ensign. Now don't lose it.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*CO*: Sir this gas is exhibiting some remarkable imitative properties

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: Agreed ::runs a scan of the sample::

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: Right now we have no clue what that gas is.

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Gives some medkits to the med team members.::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Gokaar*If it will imitate is it living or the nature of the element?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: It is some unknown element not encountered before::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
*CO*: Unknown at this time sir - checking

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
TO: I was thinking of the old old ship design, to use nuclear explosions to push a ship along... way before warp was developed.  Could we somehow detonate a string of torps and us the blast to push us backwards out of the cloud?\

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: Curious - Run a molecular scann

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Self:  There... the last one..

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: If we modulate the aft shields to deflect the blast...   yes I think we can do that.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CEO: so that means we don't know what tempreture it will burn or turn into a gas?

Nurse_Love says:
::turns back to Dr. Asturias:: MO: This waiting is really hard.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  Depends on the molecular density out there......if that gas is thick enough, a Nuclear reaction would burn it....

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: find out how fast it can respond - give it several targets in rapid sequence

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Finishes the book, tosses the PADD onto his desk... stands, and stretches... wondering how it arrived on his desk as he's never seen it before... and wondering why it's so chilly in here::

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
Nurse:  When they need us, they'll call for us.  ::Puts hand on your shoulder.::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CIV: How bad a burn?  Estimated damage to us?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Trebor:  If the gas imitates us, then we would be looking a twice or more power of the explosion.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  Unknown - we dont know enough of the molecular make up of the gas.  For all we know, it could be Helium and not burn at all

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
EO: Exactly.

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: Hmm - so what is the alignment phase and how is it stimulated?

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
CIV, TO: we dont have far to go... even an exploding cloud would through us from the cloud... in what shape is the question.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<L2T> Gokaar: Unknown.. I think the alignment is random.

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  We also have to think that, if we are at 78% hull strength.....and out shields modulated aft, how much erosion will we suffer flying out

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: show it a progression of shapes 2d then 3d - slowly - lets se what it does

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: Maybe we can use the imitative propery to our advantage.

Nurse_Love says:
::takes a seat near the waiting team::

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
<property>

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks around, trying to find any more interesting "hidden" books::

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
Civ: we will suffer that erosion, no matter how we attempt to exit... I figure faster is better.

XO_Cmdr_Trebor says:
TO: How so?

MO_LtJG_Asturias says:
::Smiles and jsut stands there waiting.::

Nurse_Love says:
::pulls out a padd and continues with the inventory report::

Civ_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  I agree...but if the front quarter of the ship is rubbed off.......what good will it do us?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Gokaar* Speculate:  If the gas imitates, then can we get it to imitate something else? Say an innocous gas surrounding the Quirinus?

CE_Lt_Stevens says:
::continues working on the engines::

CSO_Lt_Gokaar says:
L2: we need to check this for sentience

Nurse_Love says:
::sighs:: Self: Well this will go down as quite an interesting day.

TO_Ens_Torok_Nural says:
XO: We keep sensing echos our our ship, and if they are substantial, we could use a tractor beam set to repel to push us out.
